But before you begin smashing down the walls of a boarded over fireplace there are some vital things to consider to achieve an efficient and safe fireplace. Any combustible appliance installed within domestic homes in Aberdeen must comply with Part J of the building regs, and this covers chimney breasts, hearths, fireplaces and flue linings.

PROFESSIONAL OR DIY FIREPLACE INSTALLATION?

If you are an enthusiastic and competent do-it-yourselfer it might be quite possible to restore an existing bricked-up or closed-off fireplace, but the likelihood of encountering structural issues in the majority of cases is high. It might be that in order to get a fire burning once more you'll need nothing more than a good clean of the hearth and a visit from a chimney sweep. However, what you will more likely find is a pile of crumbling, old bricks that conceals problems such as a blocked chimney or a lintel that requires replacement.

It is generally best to benefit from the know-how and experience of a specialist fireplace fitter in Aberdeen, due to the severe fire and health risk issues that can result from an improperly installed or refurbished fireplace. There must always be enough airflow into a room or space where a fireplace is installed to ensure adequate levels of oxygen for the fire to burn safely. A fire that's burning inefficiently in a poorly ventilated space can lead to a dangerous build-up of carbon monoxide.

It may be necessary to install airflow vents in walls and floors to enable the fireplace to receive ample oxygen to burn safely and efficiently all the time. To prevent condensed air becoming trapped in unused chimney flues and causing staining and damp spots, vents might have to be fitted by the installation team to introduce more airflow.

BEFORE WORK COMMENCES

It is amazing just how much soot and muck can accumulate inside an old fireplace and chimney and you won't know what's there until you proceed to open it up. A fireplace installer will bring coverings for your home furnishings and provide some form of protection, however it's advisable where feasible to remove carpets and furniture from the area before work starts. If you're engaging in a full renovation of a room or house, the fireplace should be opened up and worked on before any decoration or plastering works are dealt with. This helps to prevent any staining damage to any renovated work you might have already done.

STRUCTURAL AND CONSTRUCTION WORK

Now that you are able to see the opening of your fireplace it's time to clean and sweep the hearth and chimney and see what can be refurbished. You should now contact your chimney sweep, if you haven't already done so, to come and clean the old chimney and fireplace. A chimney sweep will firstly clean the flue and while doing this will be able to check the structural condition of the chimney and provide you with guidance on whether you need a new flue lining.
